Damn. I forgot to make this thread. Good on you .


The Ballad of Killdozer


It's the folk story status and the product that makes it appealing. Not the nuts and bolts of the story.


Most all of the good stories in history are embellished and sanitized.

Guy was an unhinged lunatic. The fact that people sympathize with him is fricking insane.

The library he demolished had children in it and the owner of the grocery store he demolished was on his side in attempting to block the development of the concrete plant. Dude was a grade A a-hole.

It's more like never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

I think it's more of a meme story than actual hero worship. We all intuitively get the idea of a reasonable guy getting fed up and doing something incredible, and since nobody died but him, it's an easy one to treat that way in a pretty lighthearted fashion.

Right. The dude went postal, which doesn't typically get lauded.


But because he went postal in a secretly built armored Killdozer, which looks awesome and is impressive in its own right.


And then destroyed political targets and then ended himself...


Gets a cool pass and a folk hero meme.
